Up for your viewing pleasure possible fake...
I personally don't like the suspension and uneven patine.
Any thoughts ?

Here is a Medal for Distinguished Labour, type 1 being offered. I think it as best a later version on a fake suspension although the seller garantees that it is genuine. In a further post is a Valiant labour type 1, notice that the star isn't touching the top rim a sure sign of a converted later version. The seller also garantees that that medal is genuine.

Alexei please excuse the Distinguished Labour photo in the Valiant thread. As they are from the same person i thought i would be nice to compare the two together.

Yes, indeed Eddie that are fakes.

A lot of faked triangle suspensions for the two labour medals and the
old foursquare suspension for the military merit and valour medal are
flooding e-... .

And some people specialise to sell military merit and valour medal in the
500 thousand range with faked foursquare suspension :banghead
And the worst thing is, there are enough bidder. Today one was sold for
around 75 USD. :angerr


regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Yes seems things are going from bad to worse, I'm just going to post an Uschakov Medal from the same seller, also with his authentic garantee :angerr
Chances are you have seen all three of these Medals too.

Eddie.

Distinguished Labor Medal - T2V1...

What do you guys think of this one? I like it, but I really don't see many of these. It's in well-used condition having seen better days, and a bit on the thin side.

Re: Fake Medals for Valiant and Distinguished Labor

Ciao!

I have this Distinguished Labor since some time. I think it is type 2, variant 4 subvariant 2. Is it alright?

Any idea how old this medal could be?

Thank you.
